Useful Info & Guidelines:
We will have a food stall where you can buy food to put on the BBQ.
We will have an alcohol stand where you can buy lager.
We will have a merchandise stand where you can buy the bands' Merch.
There is absolutely NO public transport for 8 miles, so you need to be able to drive, or know someone who can drive!
There isn't a mobile signal for about half a mile so you can't contact the outside world and they can't contact you!
There isn't a hospital for 25 miles, so don't injure yourself! And no climbing trees 'cos last time someone tried that, they ended up getting carried to an air ambulance!
There will be a bonfire in a selected place every night, so please don't start your own camp fires.
Finally, it's pretty nice up ere, so don't go round vandalising stuff or doing grafitti please.
Oh, and there will be a lot of dry hay around the farm buildings nearby so please try not to flick a cig near the buildings.
cheers!
